Three decades later, the saga of those women has become a fictionalised comedy-drama series starring Alison Brie (Mad Men) as an out-of-work actress taking on wrestling in a last-ditch effort to keep her career alive. Marc Maron plays the bitter, cocaine-addled B-movie director who begrudgingly takes on Glow in the hope it will finance his dream project. Premieres 23 June on Netflix (Credit: Netflix)
